A Little Clarity

Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Own Flower is a flower studio in Sydney, Australia. This policy covers this website and enquiries sent to Ownflower2u@gmail.com. It does not describe the terms of any separate purchase or delivery arrangement.

What Information Is Involved

You can browse our flowers without creating an account or submitting a form. This website has no checkout, payment collection, mailing-list signup, advertising or visitor analytics added by Own Flower.

If you choose an email link, your email application opens. Nothing is sent until you send the email yourself. Own Flower receives your email address, your sender name and any details or attachments you choose to include, such as an occasion, preferred date or flower preferences. These details allow us to read and respond to your enquiry. Please only include information relevant to your request.

When the website is served through Cloudflare, Cloudflare processes connection and request information, such as your IP address, browser information, requested pages and request times, to deliver and protect the site. This technical processing is separate from our preference cookie.

Cookies & Your Choice

We ask before setting our preference cookie. Browsing, viewing photos and contacting us work equally well whichever choice you make.

You can reopen Cookie Preferences below or in the footer at any time. Choosing Continue Without Cookies withdraws permission and removes our preference cookie. You can also clear cookies and site storage using your browser. If your browser blocks storage, your choice applies to the current page and the notice may appear again.

We do not add analytics or advertising cookies. Photos and fonts are served with the website, with no embedded social feeds or third-party font requests. Cloudflare’s security services may use essential cookies depending on the hosting settings; our preference control does not manage those services.

Services That Handle Information

The site is prepared for hosting on Cloudflare. Our contact address uses Google’s Gmail service. These providers process information to provide hosting, security and email services. Information handled by these services may be processed outside Australia, including in the United States and other countries where they or their service providers operate.

For their practices and processing locations, see Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy. If you follow an external link, that service’s privacy practices apply.

Storage & Retention

The website does not store a customer database or copies of email enquiries. Correspondence you send is held in the email service, separately from this website. The website does not automatically delete email messages when a cookie expires or when you leave the page. Contact us for information about retention of a particular enquiry or to request its deletion; records may need to be retained to fulfil legal obligations or resolve a dispute.

The preference cookie expires after 180 days unless you remove it sooner. The record of declining cookies lasts for the tab’s browser session. Hosting and email providers manage their own technical records under their policies.

Questions, Requests & Concerns

To ask about your personal information, request access, correction or deletion, or raise a privacy concern, email Ownflower2u@gmail.com with “Privacy enquiry” in the subject. Include enough detail to help us identify your enquiry, without sending unnecessary sensitive information. We may need to verify your identity before providing personal information.

If a concern remains unresolved, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner for information about privacy complaints and whether it can assist.

Changes to This Policy

Changes to this website’s information handling will be reflected here with a revised update date. Permission for the preference cookie does not give permission for future advertising or analytics.
